Liberation Route Europe Foundation

ABOUT THE LIBERATION ROUTE EUROPE FOUNDATION

Liberation Route Europe is a continuously growing, international remembrance trail that connects important milestones from modern European history. It forms a link between the main regions impacted by the liberation of Europe in 1944-1945, through the UK, France, Belgium, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Germany, Poland and Czech Republic, as well as Italy.

It is a unique project which combines historical content development with a multi-perspective approach, remembrance tourism activities and memory transmission tools at an international level.

The project is developed by the Liberation Route Europe Foundation which works with local/regional/national governments, universities, museums, tourism organizations, veterans’ associations, commemorative events organizers etc.  

One of the Foundations major projects is de development of a large-scaled international awareness campaign to commemorate the 75^th anniversary of the end of the war (2019-2020), called ‘Europe Remembers’, as well as an international hiking trail as a post-anniversary legacy project.
